Two Gay Guys Chewing the Fat: Gay and Lesbian Characters

This week's Two Gay Guys vlog is one of those cross-over stunts the networks love like when Ally McBeal's Calista Flockhart showed up on The Practice. But ours is much more gay (think the cast of The L Word dropping in on Will & Grace) because our friends from AfterEllen.com, Lori and Sarah, join in on our conversation.

We were all together during our "vacation" (I was working on the Annual AfterElton.com Hot 100 List the whole bloody weekend!) in Palm Springs and our chat turned to gays and lesbians on television and movies and our favorite gay portrayals. Brent and I rhapsodize about Xena and Gabrielle on Xena, and Willow and Tara on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, our two favorite portrayals of same-sex relationships on TV.

Meanwhile, Lori and Sarah realize how few gay male relationships there are on television which is ironic because there are so many more gay characters than lesbian ones. Nonetheless, they like Kevin (Matthew Rhys) on Brothers & Sisters and Brian Kinney on Queer as Folk. They also really dug the movie Big Eden.

Naturally, we decided to film our conversation for this weeks vlog! (And this means we can write off the whole trip on our taxes, right?) So sit back, watch us wrinkle up as we move from hot tub to pool and back again!
